“Music offers the most sublime experience when it engulfs the singers, musicians and listeners in something greater than the individual, it can resonate with traditions, histories, and futures far beyond that immediate moment in which our ears bear witness.” - Cover of Umpah Umpah, San Beda College Battle Hymns and Cheers.

San Beda College, now back to back champions after 28 long years, very rich in basketball tradition, would like to share to everyone the cheers and battle cry hymns that kept the Bedan Community together after a long, long, long wait.

The San Beda Alumni has an old saying, “Once a Bedan, Always a Bedan”. If you have a classmate, a schoolmate, a bestfriend, an officemate, a compadre, a brother, even a former Red Cub or Red Lion, who have one way or another have been able to experience the Bedan way of Life, he, now including a she, will tell you about the Bedan brotherhood. It is something that a only a Bedan can explain. This CD is an outlet for us to express our passion and tradition that kept us together thru all those years of waiting and weeping. That hope every Bedan has been waiting for.

The CD comes with a glossy poster type insert and 25 tracks including 6 instrumental versions to sing your own rendition of the hymns that made Bedans Bedans.

Proceeds will go to the San Beda Cheerleaders and San Beda College Band.

    red pride, it would be beneficial if you can also tone down your posts.

    San Beda’s Victory Song is indeed an adapatation from the US Marine Corp which is opnely acknowledged by Bedans.

    “From Mendiola to the Battlefield….”
    ” From the Halls of Montezuma….

    The battle songs of the old NCAA schools are after all adaptations from North American tunes.

    Grrr, from what school are you anyway? If your school was a member of the old NCAA, many of your battle songs would have come from the US Military , American varsity and those stuff.

    Do you know the origins of Sis Boom Bah, Rah rah rah, Let’s Go ______ Let’s Go, Hip Hip Hurrah, boom boom boom and those Letter cheers?

    Start your research through this site. You’ll learn a lot of things by reading.

    Indian Chant, there are other quotes from Santana from this site. A powwow poster for the very first Human Be In by Hippies in San Francisco was also posted recently.

    I guess everythign should be settled already.

    Thank you guys.

    Hippies and Native American from Carlos Santana:

    “I bring practical spirituality together with the rebel from the street, because I still live the principles of the sixties. I’m still a hippie. We were rainbow warriors, reincarnated Native American Indians who wanted a different dimension of existence.”

    http://www.wie.org/j28/santana.asp

    I hope the Indianness of the Hippie Movement is already settled and by extension that of the Lion’s Roar. The Lion’s Roar (aka Indian Chant) is the Woodstock hippie version of the Wahooo. We Bedans have been Indian War Whooping since 1947 and this 1969 version is but an extension of that tradition.

    Thank you Mike!

    STAND ON THE GRANDSTAND

    Stand on the Grand!
    Beat on the tin can!
    Who can? WE can!
    Nobody else can!

    ¡�nimo San Beda!
    ¡�nimo San Beda!
    ¡�nimo San Beda!

    Fight Team Fight!

    http://www.dailymotion.com/country:ph/video/x37bh0_san-beda-alabang-pep-rally-stand-on_events

    Let’s use the original line during the actual games:

    ¡�nimo San Beda!
    Beat __________!
    ¡�nimo San Beda!
    Beat __________!
    ¡�nimo San Beda!
    Beat __________!

    Let’s not dilute the power of this traditional Bedan cheer. Besides, the violent connotation of our line “Beat ________!” has been forgotten already. Bring it back!

    Here’s one more Galatasaray War Chant.

    Since I am a Bedan, Red Lion fanatic and a Red Army partisan, I still prefer the Indian Yell over these other Native American inspired War Chants.

    Mike,
    We were in Grade 6 during the last confrontation of San Beda & ateneo (if my memory serves me right). San Beda spoiled the 3 peat chance of ateneo!
